Election
After the European Parliament (EP) elections, its course will remain unchanged, as stated by the President of Latvia Edgars Rinkēvičs in an interview on the Latvian Television morning newscast on June 11.
In the 2024 European Parliament elections, 21% or 200 of the 945 polling stations in Latvia were inaccessible to people with mobility problems. Such polling stations not only make it difficult to cast a vote in elections but also prevent people with disabilities from working at the polling station, Latvian Television reported June 10.
On Monday, June 10, the coalition agreed conceptually to nominate Valdis Dombrovskis (New Unity) for the post of European Commissioner, Prime Minister Evika Siliņa (New Unity) announced after the coalition meeting. The government could decide on this on Tuesday.
According to the State Security Service (VDD), the European Parliament (EP) elections in Latvia were held peacefully. The VDD has not detected any attempts to illegally influence the election results in Latvia, the service said in a statement June 10.
The Central Election Commission (CVK) has instructed to count the ballot papers in ten unsealed envelopes at the 81st polling station in Riga, according to information available on the Commission's website.
